Jeffrey M. Smith: Program 1

Seeds of Deception-- Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating

Jeffrey M. Smith is the author of Seeds of Deception-- Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating. Smith has been active in the field of genetically modified foods and their negative health and environmental impacts for close to a decade, working for nonprofit and political groups on the the issue, running for US Congress and proposing legislation to remove GM food from school meals and to protect farmers from cross-pollination by GM crops. He has lectured widely, spoken at conferences and been quoted in articles around the world. He was vice president of marketing for a GMO dectection laboratory and researched and wrote this book after he left the industry. The book is easy to read, telling stories that include lots of important information for us about this critical issue for our health and for the earth. Smith is the founder and director of the Institute for Responsible Technology in Iowa.

In the first of these audio interviews/radio shows Smith runs down the terrible health hazards of GM foods, and how industry manipulation and political collusion and "cover up", not sound science, allow them into your daily diet. Learn why the FDA withheld information from Congress after a genetically modified supplement killed nearly a hundred people and disabled thousands; how laboratory rats fed a GM crop debeloped stomach lesions and seven of the forty died within two weeks and the crop was approved without further tests.
